The Kokoda Track teaches participants to create goals that are in the now.

Taking on and walking the Kokoda track teaches and allows the partcicpant to create goals that are in the now, it also allows us to process objectives that serve as beacons on the horizon that keep all of us on track, which can be converted and applied to your lifestyle upon returning home.

With a major focus of staying in the present the Kokoda Track teaches you to set goals that you can achieve now. The track does require you to set a high standard of discipline and and adherence to those standards throughout the time frame of the trek in order to be successful. 

The Kokoda track journey is filled with  challenge and often hidden obstacles, you will often feel like you lose and even fail, the obstacles and challenges is part of a process that teaches you how to get to the next level. You learn to bravely embrace these challenges as opportunites to be tested, to learn and ultimately forge ahead.

Plateaus will appear, and rather than get impatient or frustrated, you use these times to adapt to that level, master it and go on to discover levels beyond what you thought were limits. To force or try to make yourself push past the plateau will prove to be futile, counterproductive and discouraging. Plateaus are simply one more natural stop on the journey, time to refuel your emotional, spiritual, mental tanks, enjoy the moment, accrue the confidence from mastering that level and then advance not when you think you should, but when the time is right. Trust that when you go slower, you often arrive sooner.

Refuse to offer excuses when you experience slumps, choking, and blocks, or a have a mental meltdown. Expect fluctuations and listen to their song. In a safe environment (team and inner self) you will continue on the road to mental toughness. Remember that excuses ARE regressions, failures, mistakes. They allow the mind to "check out", not care and justify failure and write it off as useless when, indeed, it is our guru, teacher, mentor. . . how we learn all that we know. Embrace and accept failure -- this builds mental toughness.

Walking the Kokoda Track has the ability and potential to teach the participant to create realistic goals that are in the present. It additionally allows the participant to process objectives and achieve goals through visualization. This can then be subsequently applied to the participant’s general lifestyle upon returning home.
